Film Panel Discussion at The New School

The first of a series of film events co-sponsored by the Tribeca Film Institute and the Department of Media Studies and Film at The New School will take place on Tuesday, September 22 at 7 PM.

Here is the description: "Contemporary filmmakers tell their stories using the latest tools, including everything from digital cameras to computer animation. The way they tell their stories has been shaped by the rise of short-form and user-generated content, video games, and virtual worlds that invite audience participation. At the same time, audiences are expanding their role by making films that are just one piece of a larger project. Come hear a panel discussion exploring storytelling in film today. The panel is part of “New Visions for Film and Media Arts,” a new series that presents leaders from film and digital media production, financing, and distribution.Panelists include Thomas Allen Harris, filmmaker and founder of Chimpanzee Productions, a company dedicated to producing unique videos on the human condition; Jay Randolph, activist and video blogger aka Jay Smooth; Nina Paley, filmmaker and former cartoonist and Kenneth Hung, socially conscious, multi-media artist. Moderated by Kelly DeVine, Artistic Director of the Global Peace Film Festival and consultant to Tribeca Film Institute’s web-based initiative Reframe."

This panel discussion will take place in Wollman Hall, Eugene Lang Building, 65 West 11th Street, 5th floor (enter at 66 West 12th Street). Admission is free. No tickets required. Seating is first-come, first serve.
